Profile: https://flows.cv/tedpaquin

I’m an AI-fluent recruiting leader with 15+ years helping founders and executives hire the product, design, research, marketing and creative leaders who shape how companies build and grow. 

I’ve partnered with teams at Apple, Tesla, Google, and Chime to scale these functions — building inclusive, skills-based hiring frameworks and leading critical executive searches. 

I love mentoring recruiters and collaborating with leaders to create thoughtful, human-centered hiring practices that unlock opportunity and set organizations up to thrive.
